Indeed - but usually the first response is the partition number. I'm proposing that fdisk always prompts for the partition number, but, as a backward compatibility measure, both of these inputs should be treated in the same way: # Setting the type of the only partition to 0x0c : t c # setting the type of the only partition to 0x0c : t 1 c 1 (and 2-4) are valid partition types, but they used infrequently, especially in scripts. &:-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
